GRAND RAPIDS — Two community college presidents and a former Grand Rapids administrator now serving a Colorado school district are vying for the presidency of Grand Rapids Community College during the college's second search this year.

Finalists are Daniel Phelan, president of Jackson Community College in Jackson, MI; Michael Paskewicz, superintendent of Adams 12 Five Star Schools in Thornton, Co., and Steven Ender, president of Westmoreland County Community College in Pennsylvania.

They are vying to replace former president Juan Oliverez who left this summer to become president of the Kalamazoo Community Foundation.

"The search committee was very pleased with the candidates," said board chairman Gary Schenk. "I do know they're outstanding people."
